I'd say its the electoral college and gerrymandering with some citizens united tossed in for good measure.
48This assumes a person is going to vote for Kamala, because any other vote besides her or trump is essentially the same as not voting.
22Generally, the more people vote, the more republicans lose. "Get out the vote" is an anti-republican message in effect, which republicans know and it's why they try to stop people from voting.
Instead of, you know, being electable.
61More people in general support Kamala's policies than Trump's. If every eligible voter voted, he'd lose, even considering people voting for third parties.
6Yeah it's a funny sign but ultimately useless. People who have lived through the last nearly decade dominated by Trump who still aren't voting are either so disengaged that they just don't see fighting Trump as an existential crisis or (and this is a much smaller group) see the system as so inherently fucked that they're just not partaking in it.
But maybe nobody cares for analysis ruining a perfectly funny lawn sign.
(Disclaimer: these are just my thoughts on non voters, not my own position. I will be voting, and not for a racist, rapist, fascist)

Don't use it? Lose it. Vote.
14This display assumes a smarter than average Trump voter.
7This is for people who don't support Trump.
6Guess i should have phrased that better. Smarter than average Trump voter.

Voting is the #1 cause of unwanted presidencies, too.
It's almost like the game is rigged, I tell ya.
4Except, they are all unwanted. Two choices isn’t choice.
-9One is none and two is one.
7Two leads to one outcome. Nothing changes for the better.

Yeah one of the choices is on the ballot with no votes from its party members.
4Yes, and also it's still the case not voting for the candidate you prefer (not like, prefer) over the other, makes it more likely for the other to win.
The voting system is super-duper flawed, but you don't win by not playing.

Voter turnout is low on both sides. In your lame battleground states it's especially republicans who don't vote. If tomorrow you'll have election with a 100% turnout, trump will win.
Oh, and he is wanted. By like half of the country. You better get used to it. Or are you against democracy?

Don't want either candidate. I'm simply saving my time from endless hours of mulling over which 'might' be less bad to vote in an election where 99.99%+ chance it wouldn't matter anyway.
-50Just vote, down ticket local races are also on your ballots and those votes DO matter, thousands and thousands of small towns and cities can have their shit decided on just a handful of votes.
Real third party candidates focus on these races and RCV to form a foundation to effect real change.
If the majority of people on the left actually turned out to vote for the left most candidate every time in the last 75 years this country would be SO much further left than it is now and we wouldn't be in this mess now.
But that's the past, it can still be corrected by GETTING OUT TO VOTE and voting for the most left candidate (s) with an actual chance of winning and not just presidential elections either. Turn out to vote for "off season"/local shit too, because local elections are where your vote has the most impact.
42If it takes you hours to figure out which candidate is worse for america you are really fucking stupid.
29"My voice won't be heard anyway, so I won't speak." Other people will speak for you, and their wants won't allign with yours. They might even be at the expense of yours.
22Trump is obviously the worst vote by far, even if you don't want either candidate. Do you want someone whose policies you might disagree with, or someone with no policies who staged a coup, and killed over a million Americans through incompetence and malice during a pandemic?
21Hope neither you nor anyone you care about is brown or queer. You might be wanting one candidate over the other in January...
